LiVELLO 3: aUTOTUning

The level 3 is accessible only with the password 8.5 and if the unit uses remote air sensor. With the use of internal sensor it is 

not possible to use the autotuning function.

This function allows the calculation of parameters Bp, Ti automatically by doing an on/off cycle.

Before doing such a cycle, set the setpoint for autotuning. 

The setpoint for autotuning in 2 pipe system can be done adding or substracting the value of parameter oFA (offset for autotu-

ning) to the setpoint (main setpoint if the contact ECO is opened or economy setpoint if the contact ECO is closed) according to 

operating season (see parameters).

In 4 pipe system autotuning is done on setpoint (main setpoint if the contact ECO is opened or economy setpoint if the contact 

ECO is closed).

LeA

 

Level for autotuning: 

 

 

During the autotuning cycle the regulator outputs 0 V or the voltage defined by parameter LEA. The selection is 

done  

automatically considering the season working and temperature from setpoint:

 

- in heating if temperature is lower than setpoint, the output is equal to LEA Volt.

 

- in heating if temperature is upper than setpoint, the output is equal to 0 Volt.

 

- in cooling if temperature is upper than setpoint, the output is equal to LEA Volt.

 

- in cooling if temperature is lower than setpoint, the output is equal to 0 Volt. 

 

In 2 pipe systems, the active output during autotuning is the 0..10 V single output.

 

In 4 pipe systems, the active output during autotuning is the 0..10 V heating output if at the beginning of autotuning 

cycle temperature is lower than setpoint. On this case autotuning is done in heating. If temperature is upper than the 

setpoint at the beginning of the autotuning cycle, the active 0..10 V output is the cooling output. The autotuning is 

done on this case in cooling.

 

Choose a level that avoid high oscillations.

autotuning start:

 

 

Setting the paramerter to 

YES

, the autotuning cycle starts at once. During autotuning cycle it is not possible accessing 

to setpoint and others parameters. So before starting the cycle, verify parameters are correctly set. If they are not set 

correctly it is possible to stop the cycle inserting the password 8.5 and inserting 

no

 to parameter 

AU

t

 or by powering 

off and on the unit.

 

During autotuning cycle the display alternates the indication of temperature and one of the following message:

 

AU

t

 :initial phase of autotuning.

 

A

t1

 :phase 1 of autotuning cycle.

 

A

t2

 :phase 2 of autotuning cycle.

 

A

t3

 :phase 3 of autotuning cycle.

 

At the end of autotuning cycle the display alternates one of the following messages and temperature:

 

E

nd

 :autotuning cycle ended. In 2 pipe system proportional band and integral time are calculated. In 4 pipe system
